A Letter From Starving Nebraska.
[We take the liberty of publishing the fol-
lowing letter, inasmuch as it comes from &
resident of a State which is just now being
looked to with sympathy frem all parts of the
country. Starving on iF
Grand Island, Nebraska, Jan. 19, 1895.
Ep1Tor DEMOCRATIC VFATCHMAN
Dear Sir—Inclosed please find money order
for which amount give me credit on my sub-
scription to the Warcimax, for we can’t think
of being without your valuable paper. Al
though the times are hard we are looking for-
ward to their early improvement. The very
low prices that our grain has brought has led
us to inquire of the Republicans for the cause.
They premised us better prices after their
victory but we haven't gotten them yet.
The ery for the past three years has been of
sover-production.” We don’t hear much of it
this winter in Nebraska, we are all consuming
our surplus and such farmers as had no grain
in reserve are in a very bad way, especially
those who live in the western part of the State
and in the newly settled districts, where they
have not had time to accumulate anything.
In Hall county there are some renters who
came here with nothing buta team and did
not raise a crop, consequently they are in a
destitute condition. Though some are re-
ceiving aid from the various charitable organi-
zations which are doing wonderful good here.
The causes of the crop failure in this State
have been drought, frost and the hot wave
that struck us just when the corn was in
blossom and scorched the pollen so mr~h that
it did not ear at all. The harvester, threshing
machine and corn sheller have all been si
lent ; the toot of the little iron horse drawing
the threshing outfit from barn to barn has not
been heard as in other seasons and instead of
hearing the rattle of the corn sheller on a cool
frosty morning you ean hear the squea! ofa
starving pig, or the saddening moo of the gen-
tle eyed cow that must die because she has
nothing to eat. The poor dumb animals, too,
doubtless wonder why in this supposed Jand
of plenty they are left to starve and possibly
in their dumb submission blame it on the
party in power.
The winter has been very mild so far with
no snow. Cattle and horses have “rusled” on
the prairies. Although the grass was short it
cured on the stalk and is very good feed and
as long as the snow keeps off the stock will
survive, wherever they can get it.
We are all expecting a bountiful harvest
next year from the fact that everything has
had a rest, and since 1894, was a continual
Sabbath for Nebraska we are all waiting for
the Spring to come to begin anew, though it
looks as if corn planting is to be an infant in”
dustry out here and will need protection.
Yours very truly,
W. H. HOUSER.

Ex-Governor Pattison Accepts.
PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 23.—In accept
ing the Democratic nomination for
mayor of Philadelphia ex-(xovernor
Robert E. Pattison calls attention to
the fact that the “entire expenses of
the state of Pennsylvania aggregate
$12,000,000 annually, while the ex-
penses of this city for 1894 were $32-,
190,000, an average of $150 tor each
voter, for which no adequate return
has been received.” He pledges him-
celf it elected to oppose the granting of
municipal privileges and franchiees,
and demands 2 strict accounting from
all departments.
Terrible Earthquakes. :
One Hundred Women Killed in One Bunch.
Lonpox, Jan. 20.—The Times cor-
respondent in Tebren, Persia, telegraphs
under yesterday’s date : The city of
Kuchan, which an earthquake destroy-
od fourteen months ago, and which was
immediately rebuilt was again destroyed
on January 17. Many were killed.
A bundred women were crushed in
one batch.
The extent of the damage and the
number of deaths are unknown as yet.
The bitterest cold increases the suffer-
ings. Four distinct shocks were felt in
Meshed in the last three days, but Bo
damage was done.”

Has a Faithful Sweetheart.
WILKESBARRE, Pa, Jan. 23.—The
old saying, that ‘‘Tho most worthless
man often has the most faithful sweet-
heart,” has just been exemplified in this
city. At the last term of court in this
city William P. Bowman, a young
man, was convicted of the murder of an
Arabian peddler. During the trial he
was constantly attended by Miss Flor-
ence Hoffman, his sweetbeart. Bow-
man’s attorneys are now endeavoring to
secure him & new trial. As the prison-
er is without ‘money, Miss Hoffman has
disposed of all her personal property,
dresses, cloaks, jewelry, etc., to provide
the necessary funds.

A Case of Dyspepsia of 25
Cured by Dr. Salm.
For 25 years or more my hearing has been
bad. My left ear almost deaf. I have been
under Dr. Salm’s treatment for the past &
months, and my hearing has been very great:
ly improved, in fact the change has been re-
markable. I am still under treatment, and
Years Standing
hope for an entire cure. Gratefully,
Bedford, Pa. Isaac Prersox.
Sept., 19,1894.
On account of the very vague explanation
of the above, I give the history of the case in
detail.
About 30 years ago, Mr. Pierson, on account
of Catarrh, became so hard of hearing in his
left ear, that the same might not have been
there at all, for the actual services it did him.
The right one for the last 25 years became
worse and worse, and it took some very loud
talking for him to understand you. Now, af-
ter 5 months treatment, he can again hear
with the totally useless ear, so to say deaf for
30 years, common conversation and even
whispers again, and his right ear is almost as
good as any good ear might be. Friends who
have known him will testify to the correct-
ness of my statement
Dr. M. Sanu.
Felt like Dying Rather than to Stand the Agony
Much Longer, but was Cured by Dr. Salm.
For 5 years I have had kidney, stomach, and
liver trouble. The fearful pains in my back
and bladder, I had during that time, made me
often wish for death. I could hardly work,
sleep, nor rest and had to go out re, ularly
every night four or five times to void urin.
Could hardly eat, and when I tried a little of
something it made me ill, and after 4 of our
best pLysiotans had failed to cure me, I
thought it was about time to die. Some of my
friends however, advised me to go to Dr.
Salm, who bad performed so many wonderful
cures in this country. After I had taken his
treatment 4 days, I found it did me some good.
I have taken his treatment now for 6 months,
and I enjoy life once more, and I would advise
all of my friends to go to this eminent doctor,
to get cured, after other physicians fail.
Yours gratefully
Somerset, Pa. EL1AS ZERFOSS.
Given Eye-sight and Relieved of Pain After 20
Years Suffering by Dr. Salm.
For over 12 years my eye-lashes have been
turning in, and consequently they rubbed on
the eye-ball, keeping the same always in-
flamed and very painful. In order to have a
little relief, I had to have the eye-lashes
pulled out every few days. As the result of
all this, my left eye went totally blind, and
the right one was going the same way rapidly.
I put myself under the care of Dr. Salm, and
today Tam happy to state that I am not
troubled any more with the lashes, as they
grow in their normal direction, and the sight
of the right eye has improved to a great ex-
tent. I am wonderfully cured.
Coburn, Pa. Jacop EMERICK.
Inward Trouble Cured by Dr. Salnt.
I have suffered with inward and general
trouble all my life, but am happy to state that
Dr. Salm has entirely cured me.
Manorville, Pa. JENNIE DUNMIRE.
July 19, '94.
Cataarh and Lung Trouble Cured by Dr. Salm.
For nearly 5 years I have had a bad case ot
lung trouble and catarrh. I wus treated by 3
of our best physicians but gradually grew
worse and worse, until I was recoramended to
try Dr. Salm, by one of his patients whom he
had cured of a similar trouble. I despaired of
ever getting well again, 1 felt so badly. To-
day I am thankful t at I put myself under the
Drs. treatment, for 1 can enjoy life again with
leasure, and am glad that 1 am cured.
